I'm frustrated. Today I went out and replaced / bought some new equipment. A small gas pressure washer, 50 gallon tank and a smaller generator. I have a 5000 watt 10hp now that works fine but is loud as hell and too big. Since I am adding a pressure washer back to my set up and moving to a...

I've been a mobile detailer for 15 years today was first I ran into this. Customer of mine mentioned today that she took her car in to have brakes checked. She had some noise and thought they were worn. Brakes were fine and only thing mechanic could find was some of the tire dressing on the...

Not a big problem but irritating. My tire brushes build up with black greasy substance after so many vehicles. Got a solution? I figure the tire dressing from regular customers or diluted cleaner are to blame. I'm looking to keep costs low in that area. Currently using AM RedHot (3 or 4:1...

I've considered this for a while now. Wonder if any of you offer customers discounts if they get multiple vehicles done at same time. In the past I would have just said no but lately been rethinking it. My washes on most vehicles run $20-30 (exceptions are full size vans, cargo vans...

Black 1988 Truck (mine). Paint was in horrible shape, tons of tiny scratches or cracks that just marred the finish. After a lot of work with many products and a PC (ssr 2, HT light and medium cut, PWC, EX, Nattys), the paint looked nice. Not perfect but most of the scratches were gone...

I'm both new to the site and new to the PB lineup. Any idea on when QD will be available? I just placed my second order from a distributor for my mobile buisness. Once that gets here I'll continue trying everything out and figuring out which products I'll be stocking. I ordered some TR in my...

I have a PC 7336 and getting more familiar with it each day. Used it on a 5 or 6 cars this week with just one step product and stock foam pad. Today I got a shipment of pads in (LC 6.5 Orange, White, Black and LC 7.5 Green) plus two Hi Temp products (Scratch Remover Medium Cut and Swirl...

Years ago I was cleaning a Villager Mini Van. It was just a wash but the customer pulled the seats out for me. When I was vacuuming I noticed a frog in the seat track. It was dead and wouldn't come out. I finished the cleaning of the vehicle and had customer come look at it. Everything...

Just placed my first PB order from one of their distributors. Wondering if SSR2 is a good start? What would follow SSR2? I plan to get the others but trying a lot of stuff now and can't order everything at once. Here is what I ordered. I'm looking to use them mainly on newer 2000 vehicles...

Today I dropped by Lowes and bought a PC 7336. $105 out the door seemed like the best deal for me. I finished my day and before heading home decided to swing by a couple body shop supply places. My automagic rep is out for a few weeks and earliest I can get someone here would be next Tuesday...

Ok what is everyone using on running boards? Examples are the black plastic type ones on suburbans and other suvs. Drives me nuts, get the vehicle looking great but the boards look like crap. I won't dress them for safety reasons. I haven't found a product that doesn't leave them slippery...

Over the past 15 years I've gotten a good laugh or two at stuff mobile guys have done to loose customers. Below are some of the odd things I've seen people do that probably is a turn off to customers and some stories I've been told on why a customer stopped using the last guy. Some of this are...

Never figured out what these are or how to easily remove them. Sorry don't have a picture but I think they are some type tree droppings (sap?). I've run into them for years (east coast Virginia) and they are very frustrating. Took me 7 years to figure out rubbing alcohol would pull tree sap...

I've been thinking about getting a new buffer (not a rotary). I get stuff from Auto Magic and they carry the dewalt dw443 model. I've also been looking at a cyclo and a PC. I'm mainly interested in light paint correction as the vehicles I'll be using it on are existing customer vehicles that...
